Another issue related to motivation comes when there are tasks you procrastinate on because you don't enjoy doing them.

Procrastination becomes a problem when you are procrastinating on projects that are important. Projects that are not important should be delayed or outsourced. The key is using the motivation tips you offer to get away from procrastinating on these important tasks.

If tasks are both important and unpleasant then moving through them quickly is key.

The "Simple Dollar" blog has a good post about the steps to financial independence. Following these steps can be a great strategy for growing your home business.

Step #1: Freedom from financial reliance on loved ones

Step #2: Freedom from financial reliance on creditors

Step #3: Freedom from financial reliance on employment

By building a part-time home business that provides residual income you can use the residual income to complete steps #1 and #2 all the while developing your future income through step #3.

Personally I like adding an extra step between steps #2 and #3. Step #2 could be freedom from reliance on creditors other than your mortgage. Step #3 could be freedom from your mortgage including an emergency fund.

John Jantsch, author of "Duct Tape Marketing" is offering a free webinar for small business owners. This would be newsworthy enough on its own, however it gets even better! Not only do you get the webinar training, but you also get a free copy of his book.

One type of home business that you need to beware of are often called "Gifting Programs". While these programs vary significantly, they generally involve receiving tax receipts for your initial "gift" (or investment), and you can also earn money by referring others and helping them "give" money. These companies are (almost ?) always illegal.

A recent version in Canada involved a company which gave tax receipts for much larger amounts than the donations that were given.
